Brief Answer:
Yes, no problem with yellow shade.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Stool comes in a range of colors. All shades of brown and even green are considered normal. Very rarely does stool color indicate a potentially serious condition. Stool color is greatly influenced by what you eat which is related to the amount of bile a yellow-green fluid that digests fats in your stool.

So don't worry as you would return back to normal food habits the color of stools would return back to normal.

Hope I was helpful. Follow ups are welcome.
Thanks!
